Louis Lipps is one of the greatest players from one of the most remarkable stretches of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the modern era of the NFL. Drafted in the first round in 1984 out of Southern Miss, he would go on to have an excellent start to his career, making the Pro Bowl in each of his first two seasons, skilled both as a receiver and as a punt returner.
It is why he is due to be inducted into the team’s Hall of Honor later this season, along with safety Carnell Lake, tackle John Kolb, and the late tackle Tunch Ilkin.
